Terminal cannot navigate shares on Big Sur

Networkterminal

mount a share like this:

sudo open smb://user:password@NAS/share

navigate to share

cd share

try to list contents

ls
ls: .: Operation not permitted

EDIT: clarification thanks to Greg's comment. 'sudo ls' fails as well.
In either case – using open smb://user:password@NAS/share or sudo open smb://user:password@NAS/share the folder is browseable in the finder but not in terminal.

Best Answer

It doesn't matter what user run the open command, it was mounted for everyone. The sudo is a red herring.

To navigate to the share use cd /Volumes/share. You can check the mount point by running the command mount.

Now the contents are visible running the ls command, subject to the permissions of the user running ls.
